A poster (whose name I forgot to copy) on the thread about blaming TwoLegs, has directed me here. I have been trying to find Websailor's long-running daily diary of her garden, birds, badgers etc, but although I have put in a variety of words in the the search facility, I have had no success. Can anyone give me a link, please?
(I have only been an occasional poster on h2g2.)

That was me. 
I didn't think to suggest it at the time, but perhaps you meant her column in The Post? A8828139
Just to bring Menthol Penguin's question over the page, in case it gets lost. Was your IQ thread on Ask, MP?
I think so, can't imagine I posted it anywhere else.
Anyone got the thread where we all took names reminiscent of Asterix?
Could that be this one, Kea?

Excellent 
-"...but perhaps you meant her column in The Post? A8828139"-
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately no. It was a daily updated diary and there was a long line of little rectangles at the top,* so it had been continuous for quite a time.
*which, after being on h2g2 for a bit, I worked out were pages!
And having now looked at the next topic on my page of topics, I see that someone has very kindly given me the link to Web Sailor's journal. My thanks for help here too.

And what were you looking for?
Obviously a thread started before text boxes has spell checks in them 
I can't believe it took 2 years to correct the subject line  How things have changed.

"Obviously a thread started before text boxes has spell checks in them"
Presumably, you mean 'had'.

I looked forward to the day my text box can check for tense

You mean "_you were looking_ forward..." of course.
B
No, I was just winding you up.
I'm meant I am looking forward to text boxes checking for tense, and grammar in general

Like unnecessary possessives in the first word of a sentence you're trying to spell, punctuate and express immaculately?
B
Yes. And No.
It would be interesting if such a thing existed, whether it would give immaculate results or would settle for a reasonable standard of conversational English.
Oi! This is one of the few threads that has stayed on topic! Play nicely or take the argument elsewhere.

Which you've undeniably failed to achieve with that last sentence.
